241 Tote . . . again

This is my third time making the 241 Tote pattern, and I'm still loving it. I must admit that I don't buy a lot of patterns, there are just so many great ones available for free, and I often just come up with my own designs. And I often get free patterns through testing or reviewing. But it is definitely less stressful to work with a tested pattern, and this is one of those unique designs that I didn't think I could reproduce without the instructions.

I used a denim for the main fabric, a coordinating solid for the lining, and a print from Terrain for the pockets. I added hardware to the straps, and otherwise stuck to the pattern.

Have you thought about purchasing this pattern? Noodlehead is having a sale ~ get it for $2 off for today and tomorrow only.
